The LS3's are pretty strong but we like to keep them under 9 lbs on the PD blowers.

Running 9 lbs only problem was a blown clutch. Fidanza came to the rescue though. No issues since. 628 rwhp 669 rwtq

My Procharger comes stock with a 6 psi pulley. So I guess spinning it up to 8 pounds shouldn't be fine then?

Thanks...

On 8 lbs of boost I broke the right outer CV joint and stripped the splines off the right axle. Hurt my feelings too.

Give us a few details. How much power were you making? Did you have good traction? Hop and grab?

FrankT · 11-29-2009, 05:30 PM

600+ RWHP single turbo. Nitto555R drag radials on 20" stock rims. Broke on the starting line at the local track.

BTW, how is JT's turbo holding up? Man, you have a lot of cars...

L99 with 545 rwhp running 7.8 lbs on twin turbos, so far so good, car has 5k miles now.....

my dream is to be in this tread next year

I have installed several Maggie's from straight bolt on to Cam, Spring, and Header Combinations. We have seen up to 615 RWHP on 7 to 8 lbs of boost with out any problems. On another note, Magnuson offers a standard 3yr / 36,000 mile Limited Warranty on the unit and electronics. For an additional $200 they offer a Upgraded Limited Warranty that covers engine and transmission. Now there are some rules you have to follow to get the Upgradeable warranty for the engine and transmission. You have to use their tune and you cant add any headers to the car. That will void the Magnuson warranty.

Hope this helps anyone looking to add a Supercharger in the Future.
